Why Australia needs special attention
Shipments to Australia are intercontinental: more sorting hubs, more handling, more impact risk. Packaging that matches both item and destination makes the difference between intact arrival and a bad surprise.
L'Australia ha extremely strict biosecurity: legno non trattato, alimenti, semi, piante sono fortemente regolamentati o vietati.
The 5 steps to pack leather notebook for Australia
Step 1 — Materials needed. carta velina + busta imbottita o box sottile.
Step 2 — Clean and prepare. Clean leather notebook before packing. Customs declarations require precise descriptions: remove old labels and photograph the item before wrapping.
Step 3 — Inner protective layer. Wrap leather notebook in at least 3 layers of bubble wrap. Don't skimp on packing: the parcel passes through 4–5 international hubs.
Step 4 — Sturdy box. Double-wall corrugated cardboard, 5–10 cm larger than the contents on every side. Never reuse crushed boxes: cardboard loses strength after 1–2 shipments.
Step 5 — Sealing and labelling. H-shaped seal with 50+ mm tape. Label in Italian and English (or Australia's local language if relevant). FRAGILE label on 2 sides if applicable.
